Any ballpark figure would help. I'm not really that experienced in selling quilts.

It is 72x81 (fits Queen size beautifully)

The waffle stitch I created for the 1st quilt entered in State Fair

Go on Etsy.com and look at some of the items there. It will give you some items to compare to. I figured out a price/sq inch for my quilts. I don't do applique, just patchwork. Your quilt is really beautiful and don't short change yourself on all the work you have done.

Thanks. I entered this one in the State Fair and it was appraised at $1500.00. $1800.00 after it received an honorable mention at the fair.

The State Fair quilt (Titled, Hummingbird Affair) was not as elaborate as the second one.

Minimum I would say $800.00 NO less than that. It is a lot of work. If you count the hours you spent doing it, I am sure it will be more than 80 hours. ($10.00 an hour)
